1st trip with a Seasucker Mini Bomber. Super impressed with how quick this is to install. Rear hatch works perfect for carrying my 29” front wheel after taking out cargo cover. Really happy with this setup.

Save the rear hatch space, and get the wheel attachment for the front wheel:

There is a picture of one, including with the Red interior, in this thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/718-gts-...thread-13.html #193.

God bless,

Thanks for the share! Perhaps it’s the lighting, but the top looks a lot brighter than other classic spyders.

I imagine it does look brighter. I have a 991.2 C2 911 with Bordeaux leather interior, which is actually much darker than the Bordeaux leather interiors appear in most 718 Spyder pictures.

God bless,

Awesome getting the best of both worlds.

Although I’ve seen some catastrophic accidents when someone forgets about a low ceiling when entering a parking garage.

Yes, and not just in parking garages! Years ago my wife forgot about a bike on the roof of the vehicle she was driving and tried to enter our garage at home. Ouch!

Unfortunately I don't have that problem. That and I probably spend more time checking the bike in the rear view than I do on the road. Especially since Ernesto sold his company, I care more about the bike than the car. :-)

Finally had an opportunity to wash and wax my car today. Trying some wheel wax for the first time to see how well it works.

Great photos all around, really good read of a thread. . Is it my imagination or is Gentian Blue similar to the older Lapis Blue. My 2001 Boxster S is in Lapis
